The Windows posix subsystem is a kludge and an extra dll, and is often
treated as a poor step-daughter by Microsoft. I strongly suggest we stay
away from it. Phobos should use the native Windows APIs. I also do not
want to encourage its use by providing a set of posix declarations for
Windows as part of Phobos.
